NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Oct 22, 2009 --
XRoad, which develops portable navigation
devices and created G-Map, the first GPS application for the Apple iPhone
with turn-by-turn directions, will soon make available free updated
versions of its G-Map East and West U.S. software for iPhone users. XRoad
has completed the software update and submitted it to the Apple review team
for approval. The upgrade will be available in the App Store as soon as
the review is complete.

While it completes the upgrade of the existing G-Map East and West U.S.
software, these items have been removed from the App Store. New G-Map
customers may still purchase the newly-released G-Map U.S. and Canada
software. The G-Map East and West U.S. versions will be available at the
App store again soon -- with the upgraded features.

The G-Map East and West U.S. upgrade contains a number of enhancements
requested by customers and made possible by the latest iPhone software
update. New features include:

-- TTS (Text-to-Speech)

-- Landscape or Portrait mode

-- instant access to iPhone's address book for routing destination

-- automatic resumption of music

REAL-TIME TRAFFIC TO BE AN AVAILABLE OPTION

The real-time traffic service also will be added and submitted to the App
Store for approval within a few weeks. The live traffic service will be
available as an in-app purchase option at a to-be-decided price, because X
Road purchases the service from the third party provider.

"All the features that appear in the newly-released G-Map U.S. & Canada
software, except real-time traffic, will be found in the upgraded version
of G-Map US East and West, so that our early customers can take advantage
of those innovations," explains Sean Lee, Marketing Director of XRoad.
"Customers tell us they appreciate the new functionality of real-time
traffic and text-to-speech."
